Independence for Marc: prosthetic leg
Help Marc get a prosthetic leg so He can speak with the people around him.
🇨🇦 Canada4,403 views
Marc lives with a spinal cord injury. The occupational therapist at the Edmonton Rehabilitation Centre has assessed him and recommended a prosthetic leg. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $7,400.
His current equipment is 14 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined him to home for 8 weeks.
With the right equipment Marc could speak with the people around him. It would change everyday life for the whole family.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
Funds go toward the equipment, delivery, fitting and a year of servicing.
Where the $7,400 goes:
• prosthetic leg: $6,500
• Fitting and training sessions: $380
• Delivery and set-up: $155
• First-year servicing plan: $365
Glad we found this place.

It's all in the list in the story. prosthetic leg is the big one at $6,500, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Edmonton.
